I recently watched Marty’s video about putting wood peices in a cooler with a steaming pan of water.
It worked well, and raised the moisture content each time from less than 6% to around 12%, which made a huge difference in carving!
One thing i didnt take into consideration was that the boards that already had holes in them (a cribbage board) would take on a lot more moisture on the sode with holes than the other side. It caused a serious warp in the board.
I’m hoping that the tricks in the warped board forum with at least take most of the warp out of the boards.
Thanks for the great ideas and input!
